What does this PR do?

I rebuilt the Cursor adapter for OpenCode V2 and removed the old proxy and compatibility code. It keeps private models and exact variants while OpenCode manages history, tools, permissions, and compaction.

Each new Cursor Run is built from OpenCode's messages and tool results, including images and reasoning data. This lets the host recover after a lost connection or restart without a second conversation store.

Each step reports Cursor's checkpoint occupancy as its input and its streamed output tokens as its output, so OpenCode's context meter and compaction follow the real conversation size. Before, tool steps reported no usage, so one long session filled a 1M context without compacting, and single-step Runs reported Run totals larger than the window, so compaction ran too early. Exact Run totals, including cache reads and writes, stay in provider metadata. Cursor gives no per-call cache split, so OpenCode's cost estimate is an upper bound on long tool loops.

Cursor is offered only its MCP tool family: the same x-cursor-agent-allowed-tools list the official SDK sends for tools: ["mcp"]. Models see OpenCode's tool names and schemas instead of a second set of Cursor-native tools. The list includes get_mcp_tools_tool_call, so Cursor still starts normally; allowing only mcp_tool_call broke bootstrap. Native workspace requests that still arrive (shellStreamArgs, shellArgs, grepArgs, readArgs, writeArgs, lsArgs) map to OpenCode host tools, empty-pattern grep calls route to glob, and tool result JSON envelopes are unwrapped.

Every Cursor exec frame and interaction query now gets a reply:

  • Native shell streams finish with shellResult and streamClose. Without them, Cursor kept the turn pending after every shell call, so each continuation stalled until the watchdog fired. This is why long sessions looked stuck.
  • Frames the adapter can't serve fail in band with throw and streamClose instead of leaving Cursor waiting.
  • Cursor-hosted web search, Exa, web fetch, question, and mode-switch prompts are declined so the model uses OpenCode's tools. Plan creation gets an error, and VM setup fails the Run.
  • Native StrReplace is declined. Cursor applies it to the read result as raw bytes, so it would write OpenCode's formatted read output back into the file.

A resumed Run waits up to 180 seconds for first output, like a fresh one. A rebuilt Run tells the model that the preceding tool results answer its own calls, instead of an opener that read like an interruption. The host-contract rule names OpenCode's rules as the application's system prompt rather than the user's.

I updated the adapter after OpenCode removed context.catalog. It now uses context.provider.transform() and reload(), refreshes models on credential.switched, and preserves failed-tool outcomes in structured compaction requests. Dependencies and the test host are pinned to released @opencode/* 2.0.6. Older hosts with the catalog API are no longer supported.

Grok opaque-reasoning checkpoints no longer fail a completed turn when a root has no unique assistant anchor. Cursor usable-model IDs group into families: none is the non-thinking SKU, and thinking SKUs become low/medium/high/xhigh/max.

The OpenCode id stays the stable catalog name, such as grok-4.6. Each variant still sends Cursor's exact wire id, such as cursor-grok-4.6-xhigh. All non-duplicate models from AvailableModels are published so newly released and parameterized models (such as Grok 4.7 and Grok 4.7 500K) appear in OpenCode's picker. If OpenCode has loaded a models.dev Cursor row, I copy that row's limits and price. I do not copy lab caps, and I do not replace the live catalog with a static list.

I also fixed model grouping against Cursor's real parameter spellings: any effort parameter (including reasoning_effort and minimal) groups into variants on one model, and Claude's thinking flag stays on that same model (none is non-thinking, while effort variants keep thinking enabled) instead of creating separate models. Connect error message details are also preserved in the transport.

How did you verify your code works?

The current head is 8ea167b. I amended it onto the previous head because #35 had no review activity. npm run verify passes locally and in CI against the pinned 2.0.6 host. The host fixture now uses 2.0.6's permission and form APIs, which fixes the earlier Missing key ["decision"] failure.

Live checks for this head ran on WSL through OpenCode 2.0.14 with Composer 2.5, Grok 4.7, and Auto:

  • A multi-step task (list files, read them, run a failing test, fix the bug, re-run) finished in 23 to 49 seconds with no stalls or retries. Before the shell-stream fix, the same Composer task stalled after every shell step and did not finish in 10 minutes.
  • Per-step input followed checkpoint occupancy as the conversation grew, and ranged reads returned exactly the requested lines.
  • With a project AGENTS.md requiring one reply and the user asking for another, the models followed the project instruction in 18 of 18 trials, up from 6 of 9 with the old host-contract wording.

Instruction priority on Opus and with images, opaque-reasoning replay, and continued work after automatic compaction still need live verification. The test report records the remaining limits.

Reconstruct roles, tool outcomes, images, and reasoning from OpenCode's
history. Preserve exact private-model selections while OpenCode owns
tools, permissions, steering, persistence, and compaction. Remove the old
proxy and compatibility implementation from the V2 channel.

Use bounded per-Run HTTP/2 workers, validated Connect completion, and
authoritative host tool handoffs. Preserve signed and opaque reasoning
through restart.

Report each host step's usage as Cursor's checkpoint occupancy, counted
as uncached input, plus that step's streamed output tokens. Tool steps
previously reported no usage, so a long session filled a 1M context
without compacting, while single-step Runs reported Run totals larger
than the window and compacted early. Keep exact Run counters in provider
metadata.

Answer every Cursor exec frame and interaction query. Complete native
shell streams with shellResult and streamClose; without them Cursor kept
the turn pending after every shell call, so each resumed Run stalled
until the watchdog fired. Fail unserved frames in band, decline
Cursor-hosted web, question, and mode-switch gates, and decline native
StrReplace, which would write formatted host reads back into files.

Offer Cursor only its MCP tool family, the allowlist the official SDK
sends for tools: ["mcp"]. It keeps get_mcp_tools_tool_call, so Cursor
starts normally, and models see OpenCode's tool names and schemas. Map
native workspace requests that still arrive to host tools, route
empty-pattern grep calls to glob, and unwrap tool result JSON envelopes.

Wait up to 180 seconds for a resumed Run's first output, and open
rebuilt Runs by saying the preceding tool results answer the model's own
calls. Name host rules as the application's system prompt: in live
checks, Composer, Grok 4.7, and Auto followed a project instruction over
a conflicting user request in 18 of 18 trials, up from 6 of 9.

Target released @opencode/plugin, @opencode/schema, and @opencode/cli
2.0.6. Replace the removed catalog API with provider source registration
and reload. Align the host fixture with the 2.0.6 permission and form
APIs, and accept npm 12 pack output in the package check.

Match opaque checkpoint roots to visible text and tools even when Cursor
also streamed thinking. Omit unmatched extra roots instead of failing an
already-streamed answer.

Treat Cursor reasoning-effort as a variant parameter, recognizing any
effort-valued parameter including reasoning_effort and minimal. Keep
Claude thinking on that same model: none is non-thinking, and thinking
SKUs become low/medium/high/xhigh/max. Prefer default, then none, low,
medium, high, xhigh, max. Preserve Connect error message details in the
transport.

Publish all non-duplicate models from AvailableModels so newly released
and parameterized models (including Grok 4.7 and Grok 4.7 500K) appear
in OpenCode's picker, sending exact usable wire IDs on each variant. Use
a models.dev Cursor row for limits and price when OpenCode has one; do
not copy lab caps.

Verified with npm run verify against the pinned 2.0.6 host and live
multi-step tool runs on WSL with Composer 2.5, Grok 4.7, and Auto.
